MARCH 2010 NEWSLETTER

Several important notes to start with:

- Firstly we would like to extend our sincerest apologies for the timeliness of several things for this upcoming March screening. The important thing that I must stress immediately is that there has been a *SCHEDULE CHANGE* for the March screening. We were contacted by the University Events department and were notified that there was another event scheduled on the same day as our screening and that it would be a very loud disturbance, thus we were asked to move our date back. Again, we apologize for the late notice, but the screening is no longer on the 20th of March. See below for the new information.

- Some of you may have noticed, but we have finally restored the new mailing system! We have combined all subscribers from both the old and new mailing lists into one that can be managed easily through this website once again. At the moment, all subscribers are set to receive the plain, standard text-format emails. There are several links at the bottom of the emails that you can use to update your profiles on the website, as well as choose which format of emails you wish to receive (html or text).
